a Reception to Milford and Mnady.

OTTAWA, Ont, May Ex-Governor
General and Lady Lansdowne arrived
at home from Toronto at $50 this
afternoon. They had received an en-
thusiastic welcome along the route, and
the demonstrations at Ottawa were the
grandest ever seen. The route was
along Queen, Wellington, Bank, Sparks
and Elgin Streets to Cartier Square.
The procession was headed by Bicycle
Club, and an escort of 300 mounted citi-
zens. Six brass bands were distributed
through the procession. a very large
number of vehicles and private citizens
followed. There was an enormous con-
course in the square, estimates vary
ing from IL 900 to 10000 persons. An
address of welcome was made, and Lord
LansdOwne said in reply to the address:
- How are We TO account for this dis
play Of confidence and good will? | am
given to understand that the explana-
ton is this, that since we saw you
last, an invasion of Canada has
taken place, and that the inva-
sion has not been successful.

respects remarkable. The invading
force was not strong. 1t made up, how
ever, in lnterpredity for its weakness in
numbers. 1t appears, moreover, to
have taken at the outset of its operation

a skilled strategist-it seized possession

information most startling was

has taken place, the people CT Ottawa
are not particularly anxious to get rid

to have been one weak point in the ar
rangements. We all know that one of
the most important departments
in the military service is that
which is known as the intelligence
department in which information bear :
ing upon any operation which may be
in contemplation is collected. In this
case the invaders were completely mise
by their intelligence department.
The Governor General closed with an
expression OF bis thanks. At the con-
clusion of his address, the children
sang: "God Save the Queen" and
other choruses and a vast crowd
cheered themselves hosrse. While the
vice-regal party was leaving, the chill

The Pacific Railways investigation.

Boston, May 26.-Before the Pacific
Investigating committee to-day, T.
Gordon Dexter, who has been a director
OF the Union Pacific twenty years,
testified. The evidence was a corrobora-
ton OF Ames' version of the condition
OF the Union and Kansas Pacific roads
prior TO the consolidation. He was
satisfied that acquiring the Kansas
Pacific was a very important and
good thing for the Union Pacific 10 do.
In his judgment it was to the advant-
tage of both roads, bat he was not sure
it was to Gould, Judge Dillon inciden-
tally testified as to the certain suits
brought against the company. includ-
ing that in connection with the Ames-.
Fisher contract.
After recess, the examination of Dex-
ter was resumed. When asked as to
his Judgment on the result of the
policy pursued since 1875, by the Union
Pacific, and connection with the cen
struction OF branch lines and invest
ments made by it in branches, Dexter
replied: although we made here and
there a mistake, there is no question
about the general policy being good. l
would advocate pursuance OF the
same policy IN the future"
To his knowledge, no director or
officer of the road was interested in any
coal operation of the company for
private profit. The witness said Gould 5
ideas about the duties of director
were sometimes peculiar. The only
thing the Union Pacific suffered under
was the uncertainty attending its rela-
tons with the government. He agreed,
with President Adams, that it would be
better for the road to pay gross sum
instead of making payment in net
earnings.
Ezra H. Baker, another director,
thought the action of Gould as a Union
Pacific man at the time of the consoli-
dalton very proper. He knew of no
intention to abandon the road to the
government.

Presbyterian Pow-wow.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Clergymen
from Maine to Texas and from the At
Iantic to the Pacific were in attendance
this morning at the opening OF the
twenty-ninth general assembly OF the
United Presbyterian Church of North
America. There were present about
GOO delegates comprising an equal
number of ministers and laymen.
The opening prayer was followed by
the election of q new moderator. The
contest was of especial interest, since it
involved the instrumental music issue,
over which for some time the church has
been divided. Two nominations were
made. Rev. Matthew Mccormick Glib
son, ID, Of San Francisco, an earnest
advocate of the organ, and Rev. j. 6.
Carson, OF Xenia, Ohio, an anti-instru-
mental candidate. The annual financial
reports of the Board OF Foreign Mis-
sions of Church Extension, Education,
Frreman's Mission and publication,
were presented.

an excited crowd surrounds the ruins
which are guarded by a military cor

Twenty bodies in a terribly fhutilated
condition have been recovered from the
ruins. The remains are principally
those OF ballet girls, choristers and ma
chinists.
Twenty more bodies were recovered
this afternoon from the ruins of the
Theatre Comique. The search continues.
The remains of three men and two
women were found in a stage box, where
the victims had taken refuge from the
flames. It is ascertained that many
bodies lie buried in the upper galleries,
where escape was exceedingly difficult.
Government propose to close several
Paris theatres because of their de-
fciency in exits. Late this afternoon
the bodies of eighteen ladies, all in full
dress, were fund lying together at the
bottom of the staircase leading from
the second story. These ladies all had
escorts to the theatre but no remains of
men were found near where the women
we're burned to death. The walls of the
theatre began falling this evening and
search for the bodies had to be aban =
dOned for the day. The library at
!aChed TO the theatre was entirely des-
trOyed with all its contents, including
many valuable scores. Six thousand
costumes were burned in the wardrobe.
The work Of searching for the bodies
was resumed tonight. A number more
were exhumed. The official statement
says fifty bodies are already recovered.
Reveilleon, speaking in the Chamber
OF Deputies this afternoon, estimated
that at least 200 persons lost their lives
in the fire.
Among the audience at the Opera
Comique last night, we're General Bou-
LANCER, General Saussier, General Thu
